Window wells

We have two egress windows. The drainage is at the top of a cement layer and not low enough under the window to provide for water to come up before running in through the window (which is did last summer during a heavy thunder storm when the drain could not handle the water fast enough). What can we do to fix this besides having the whole window wells redone. We have thought of building a structure over them to look similar to a green house in order to keep all water out of the window well area but not sure how to go about that in a way so it will look good - one of these window wells in by the front door.
